Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone’s ‘Bugonia’ Sets New Fall Release Date


"Bugonia," the latest collaboration between director Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone, will land on the big screen earlier than planned.

“Bugonia,” a remake of the South Korean sci-fi comedy “Save the Green Planet,” revolves around two conspiracy-obsessed friends who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major corporation because they are convinced she’s an alien intent on destroying Earth. Lanthimos is directing from a script by Will Tracy, whose credits include “The Menu” and “Succession.” Stone and Lanthimos were producers — via their respective companies Fruit Tree and Pith — in their latest team-up following “Poor Things,” “The Favourite” and “Kinds of Kindness.” Producers also include Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures, Ari Aster and Lars Knusden of Square Peg, and Miky Lee and Jerry Kyoungboum Ko of CJ ENM. The studio’s upcoming slate includes Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet,” led by Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley; Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme”; Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson-led musical drama “Song Sung Blue”; Ronan Day-Lewis’ feature debut “Anemone,” starring his father, Daniel Day-Lewis; and Ethan Coen’s “Honey Don’t!” with Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans.
